Update Special: Uproar over Draft Code of Good Practice on Dismissal
Loading player...
Thirty workers and social rights organisations have filed a joint submission to the Department of Employment and Labour and the Parliamentary Committee on Employment and Labour calling for the new Draft Code of Good Practice on Dismissal to be scrapped. They are also demanding public hearings to be held with affected workers.
The draft code is pro-employer and does away with the rights for workers to take part in disciplinary hearings before they are dismissed.
The code is a product of secret negotiations in National Economic and Labour Council (Nedlac) between April 2022 and October 2024 – it completely excluded union members, shop stewards, paralegal advice offices and union officials.
